I wrote my first book when I was two and a half.
I have since mislaid it, but I seem to remember that it was a single sheet of paper, folded and carefully filled with random letters in imitation of the mysterious and wonderful volumes around me, like so:
ETRCOS JASDYLAKYF JXFLIUSADFU G AJKUE SAHDKJHEF JSHDKJHE
DFKJAHDF ASDG DKJDHF SDJAKD BSD SIENNSBSDE SDEDA JASWEJU
Luckily I learned to read soon after and my own readability statistics improved.
Now, more than 30 years later, I am writing professionally, as a copywriter for American Express Business Travel, and as a screenwriter, with the generous support of Screen West Midlands, who are sponsoring my feature film script Translations, and my mentor and producer Anita Lewton who is still patiently badgering me to improve seven years after I first walked into her screenwriting class.
